if using rag along with mackerel, or sandeel, even sometimes squid it can produce a lot more fish,
try from the back wall (up the ramp from the slipway, just at the steps over the wall or else on down on the flat rounded corner casting out towards the most seaward point of donegal that you can see, it holds a lot of dab normally a few plaice, gurnard etc over the sand
